mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories and adds creaminess.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

canned tuna

🥗Healthier: canned salmon

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Canned sardines are often less expensive and nutritious.

Break up the tuna with a fork in a bowl.

Add diced celery, chopped red onion, and chopped Grill's pickles to the bowl.

Toss the mixture together.

Add about 5 tablespoons of Duke's mayo to the mixture.

Add a tablespoon of fancy mustard (or more to taste).

Add three cranks of black pepper.

Combine all ingredients to create a creamy tuna melt topping.

Preheat the oven to 400°F on broil.

Toast the sourdough bread on a baking tray under the broiler until lightly toasted.

Spread mayo on the toasted bread edge to edge.

Spoon the tuna mixture generously on top of the bread.

Shred cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture using a microplane.

Return the assembled tuna melts to the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
